It seems that every community takes anything said about gender dysphoria that isn’t calling it great and beautiful and awesome, as transphobia, and the mods delete comments.
I’m wondering if there is a community for people dealing with dysphoric children that don’t get offended if something is said in honest questioning and honest debate, that doesn’t toe the politically correct line?
It’s impossible to find real help online because everyone wants to make it political. It may be political in the macro, but the micro isn’t political, and there should be room for all opinions and debate, especially when the goal is to help the person afflicted and the family to grow and be healthy in their relationships.
I’m trying to find people to talk to. I’m not trying to push any opinion or agenda. My child is having issues. I don’t believe that just affirming them will solve their deep rooted problems, but I’m willing to have a back and forth with people who have had both success and failure with that approach. I want a place where I can speak honesty and not have people start calling me dishonest or saying I have some agenda or I’m trying to push some kind of politics.
I guess I’m looking for a sort of Alanon type environment, where people can share their experiences without judgement. I don’t mind if someone says they think I’m wrong and are willing to share their experience to back up their statement. I actually would welcome it.
If I were looking for confirmation bias, then that would be easy. What I’m looking for is a real and honest discussion with people who have dealt with this issue, both personally and professionally.
Honestly, you may find talking with a therapist or taking a psych class to be more helpful. Either should be able to put you in touch with RL groups that are open to discussion and information exchange.
